But the ethanol boosters are ignoring some unpleasant facts: Ethanol won't significantly reduce our oil imports; adding more ethanol to our gas tanks adds further complexity to our motor - fuel supply chain, which will lead to further price hikes at the pump; and, most important (and most astonishing), it may take more energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than it actually coethanol boosters are ignoring some unpleasant facts: Ethanol won't significantly reduce our oil imports; adding more ethanol to our gas tanks adds further complexity to our motor - fuel supply chain, which will lead to further price hikes at the pump; and, most important (and most astonishing), it may take more energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than it actually coEthanol won't significantly reduce our oil imports; adding more ethanol to our gas tanks adds further complexity to our motor - fuel supply chain, which will lead to further price hikes at the pump; and, most important (and most astonishing), it may take more energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than it actually coethanol to our gas tanks adds further complexity to our motor - fuel supply chain, which will lead to further price hikes at the pump; and, most important (and most astonishing), it may take more energy to produce a gallon of ethanol than it actually coethanol than it actually contains.

Presently, despite frequently optimistic claims, it costs significantly more to produce cellulosic ethanol than to produce corn ethanol.

It can be a lot more productive to produce mixed fuels like Acetone, Butanol and Ethanol in a process than trying to produce a single highly pure fuel.

The latter would mean, for example, using less corn and more switchgrass to produce fuel ethanol.

New Zealand - based Lanzatech, the developer of gas fermentation technology for producing ethanol and high value chemicals (e.g.: MEK, Butadiene) from industrial waste gases, has signed a memorandum of understanding with one of the largest coal producers in China, Henan Coal and Chemical Industrial Corporation, to build a demonstration plant to...

The researchers found that using biomass to produce electricity for electric vehicles would produce 81 percent more transportation miles than using the same amount of crops to produce ethanol.

It produces 10 — 15 % more ethanol than a strain that utilizes glucose alone.

But all of this is despite serious scientific concerns about biofuels, especially corn ethanol - whose production requires lots of land, and consumes lots of energy - some say more than the fuel itself produces.

Ethanol more energy - efficient than oil, finds study: Using ethanol — alcohol produced from corn or other plants — instead of gasoline is more energy - efficient that oil say researchers at the University of California, BeEthanol more energy - efficient than oil, finds study: Using ethanol — alcohol produced from corn or other plants — instead of gasoline is more energy - efficient that oil say researchers at the University of California, Beethanol — alcohol produced from corn or other plants — instead of gasoline is more energy - efficient that oil say researchers at the University of California, Berkeley.

Ethanol reduces c02 slightly but burns with a lot more polluting solids as found by testing recently, it also clogs motors and catalyic converters and produces nitros oxide which is a lot worse and that is smog, more lies, c02 is essential for every living thing on the planet not a pollutant.

The US has now crossed the point where more corn is being used for ethanol production than for feeding people producing 206.5 million barrels of ethanol in 2010.

They hold that if 10 % was mandated then they would have to import ethanol because it is produced overseas much more cheaply than in Australia.

One wonders how, given that the Australian sugar industry seems to be as efficient as any in the world, ethanol can really be produced more cheaply elsewhere; perhaps the lower prices are due to subsidies?
